Bug 569394 – Please provide mapping for herd gpe@g.o (GLEP67)

• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Michał Górny 2015-12-23 15:04:51 UTC]

The herds have been deprecated by the Council and are being replaced
by projects. For this reason, please decide on the fate of the herd
stated in the summary and update [1] or state the request here.

The common choices are:

1. Map the herd to an existing project (in this case all packages
in the herd will be maintained by the project) -- let us know which
project to use.

2. Create a new project for the herd -- create the wiki page, let us
know the new mail alias name to be created, create the wiki page
and let us know about it.

3. Decide to disband the herd -- just let us know (but keep it for now
in herds.xml!), we'll replace it with individual maintainers when herds
are removed.

Since the only herd maintainer seems to have been missing for quite some time, I suggest we disband the herd and mark the packages as maintainer-needed.

[Comment 2 Michael Palimaka (kensington) 2016-01-14 05:30:36 UTC]

As per the recent Council decision[1], the final deadline for herd -> project migration is 24th January 2016. If no action is taken for this herd by that time, any packages that do not have another maintainer will be reassigned to maintainer-needed.

Common options include: mapping the herd to a new project, mapping it to an existing project, reassigning the packages to the herd maintainers, and reassigning to maintainer-needed.

Please let me know ASAP about your intentions for this herd and I'll be happy to take care of it.

The herd has been disbanded. I will be announcing resulting maintainer-needed packages shortly.
